Anyone noticed that the price of miele vacs has dropped through the floor?
You can by one for double that not long ago.
I bought an S4 yesterday and they still appear to be well made.

Selling-off the models that are "too powerful" for the EU before the ban hits? I might be tempted to stash one away as a spare ...

The S4 looks like it's been EOL'd it no longer exists on their website, the ban hits in September.

Miele seem to have lost all the cylinder vacs that had control buttons on the handle - which is a killer feature as far as I am concerned.
Why...

Coincidentally swmbo got an S2111 yesterday to keep stashed upstairs. Save her the bother of carrying the existing one up and down the stairs.
On special offer @ EURO 129
She was delighted

How can a vacuum be too powerful? after all if you run a rotating brush off the suck, the suck is lower afterwards is it not, if you make them too puny you end up with no brush rotation. What has the EU to do with cleaning up muck? Brian

In a month's time simply by being rated more than 1600W Watts (Can't remember when we discussed this before if that's electrical Watts, or air Watts) then in three years time the limit drops to 900 Watts.

Numatic seem to have just replaced the good ol' builder's-favourite 1200w Henries with 580w, yet claim the cleaning is just as good.

Puts an end to manufacturers putting in a slightly bigger motor in order to show bigger numbers on the shop floor. Means they have to design more efficiently instead. This is a good thing.

I once used some some off-brand flavour of vac that proudly boasted
2000w. I think it used most of 'em to make noise, because it certainly didn't use 'em to suck anything off the floor. I SAID...- Vote on answer

Yep. Wait till we only have 500W kettles and some sodding engineer points out that it takes more electricity (because of extra heat loss during the heating period) to heat a low wattage kettle up to boiling than a high wattage one.
And gets called a climate change denier...
